I don't understand Gamestop's business model

[Stocking]

>Playing Brink, Xbox RROD's

>Dad tries to fix it, makes it worse, buys a used Xbox from Gamestop

>Playing Brink, Xbox RROD's 45 minutes in, can't get game out

>Dad takes Xbox to Gamestop, worker tries to get the game out with a screwdriver and breaks the disc

>Gives dad a free replacement for the Xbox and a brand new copy of Brink

>Xbox RROD's 2 hours later

>Dad calls Gamestop, they tell us to bring it in tomorrow and they'll replace it again

"Hey can I trade in my copy of LEGO Indiana Jones?  I bought it for $50 yesterday."
"Sure, you'll get $5 worth of credit."
I promptly said nevermind, did a 180 and walked right out.

They're starfishs when it comes to used and trade-ins.

I haven't bought from them in almost a year now.

Yet i traded in Mario Kart, about 3 years old, and got 30$!

This isn't really related to Gamestop, but the first Xbox 360 I had RROD'd after about a year and a half. When the refurbished one came in a month later, it RROD'd after about two hours.

I really do hate Microsoft.

I have an unopened, black label copy of Final Fantasy VII. What do you think it's trade-in value is?

[Caution]

That's why the only thing I go to Gamestop for is to buy games.

Over $100 easily.
